What's the most romantic gesture you make to your Significant Other...

Here's mine...

Every year on the anniversary of our engagement (which took place at The Plaza Hotel in NYC), I book

Hotel
Lunch
Show
Spa Treatment
Dinner
Breakfast In Bed

At some place in NYC, to let her know how special she makes me feel...

It's not about spending.... it's about spending time...

You?

    I think the most romantic thing my husband ever did was ask me if he could hold my hand on our first date. Sounds weird but I had dated some real a-holes before him that were low on the 'respecting women' scale and to have him actually ask me if that okay instead of grabbing it, meant a lot to me. :)

    Every year we celebrate our first date's date as well as our annniversary and he asks me if he can hold my hand. :oops: :)

    Awww that is so sweet!

    Nice thread, BD :thumbup:

    Since I'm in a long-distance relationship, almost everything we do when we meet in person is somehow romantic, even long car rides, watching tv or grocery shopping :) In everyday life, I love getting sweet little unexpected romantic messages by him. They can make my whole day ...

    I get my wife flowers on random days and put "just because" on the card. We've been together for 15 years

    On our 1st year anniversary, she left her purse on a NYC carriage ride. I ran through central park to retrieve it for her.

    Hey! I've been at the Plaza Hotel! Manhattan, fellow, ....lucky 13th Floor...only floor with a step out balcony and a rail. I was seeing the Grateful Dead for three nights in Madison Square Garden in 1991. I stole an ashtray. ... the first night there, I have a cassette recording of the classic radio station. there From there I learned about the Water Boys and the Fisherman song which sounds just like Vedder anyway what is this thread about romance, yes ok, I was there with my then boyfriend, he was/is rich. I was making him laugh because I was friendly and saying hello to people I passed on the street, I was 23. I think there were flowers, who cares ? yes ok

    Romance seems to be fading or maybe most don't have the time or idea as to what it really means. Both sexes are equallly ignorant now, it use to be just guys were. The only size that seems to matter anymore is wallet, not the heart or other specific organs.

    When my wife (g/f at the time) came to visit me for the first time she was awake for about 24 hours through driving and plane rides and missed flights. I made her some chili and had it with me when I met her at the airport. We sat at a shuttle bus stop, nobody around, she sat on my lap while eating.

    That same weekend I took her to a sushi restaurant, she had never been, they didn't have forks and she didn't know how to use chop sticks so I hand fed her. Even the dessert that came with a spoon.

    I've wrote poetry and stories for her about us.

    We tell each other I love you at least five times a day.

    maybe romance is fading for a reason - it's not everyones cup of tea. I can't think of many bigger turn offs myself than a traditionally romantic gesture. at best they give me really inappropriate giggles. And whilst I may have dated guys due to size, it was never their wallet that was my concern ;)
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    My husband says the most romantic thing I can do for him is spend time with him and appreciate him. Not always easy in a busy life, but I try.

    I do however try to make romantic gestures. I once put on some nice undies, lay on the bed and called out to him that I needed assistance. He said OK, came along the corridor, went down the stairs, out the back door and into town. When he eventually came back I told him that he had scuppered my romantic plans, he thought I'd wanted a hand changing the sheets on the bed and couldn't be bothered so went out. I try and be more obvious now.

    right before we started dating, my wife was hospitalized for about 7-10 days with a severe case of pancreatitis. when she was in the hospital, i brought her flowers...a simple arrangement with 3 pink roses. i still buy her this arrangement all the time...but it's always at a completely random time. her face lights up just like it did the first time i brought them to her in the hospital.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I used to sneak little handmade cards in his luggage when he went away on business vacation...then I realized that I was wasting my time: "oh, that was nice" :|

    Used to get flowers and little surprises, then it turned into, "I really don't like celebrating holidays", now I randomly get "I was thinking about getting you a _______, so you should just pick it out, where do you want to go?" (it's never 'yearly' either, so I don't bother with holidays/birthdays/anniversarys anymore) I get told this "the day of" so in reality, I almost never get to 'claim' my 'gift'...still waiting for my birthday dinner at the nice Italian place....6½ months later.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    My hubby's definitely the romantic one in our relationship. I don't have a romantic bone in my body and I feel bad but he knew what he was getting himself into! Before our first date, which was on Valentine's Day, my hubby had a Vermont teddy bear sent to my work. He found out from my sister that I can't stand flowers, so now every year on Vday he has a new bear sent to me. Awwwww.

    I think this is very very sweet :) I like it when men gentlemanly and ask that sort of question.
    The greatest boyfriend I ever had asked me if he could kiss me the first it happened. It made my heart melt. :)

    Then I fucked it up and I miss him TONS. :(
